Zara owner Inditex said it had identified unauthorised access to databases hosted by a third party containing information on transactions with customers.

The databases do not contain customer data, addresses, passwords, or bank card details, Inditex said in a statement late on April 15, adding that it immediately applied security protocols and started notifying the relevant authorities.

The breach “stems from a security incident that affected a former technology provider and has impacted several companies operating internationally”, the company said.
